Are a Username and Password Required for Creating an IPsec VPN Connection?
No. Huawei Cloud IPsec VPN uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication. The key is configured on a VPN gateway. A tunnel will be established after VPN negotiation is complete. Therefore, usernames and passwords are not required.
Generally, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) VPNs use usernames and passwords for authentication.
IPsec XAUTH is an extended technology of IPsec VPN. It prompts users to enter their usernames and passwords during VPN negotiation.
Huawei Cloud VPN does not support IPsec XAUTH.
